Answer: increase/decrease

Explanation: Social facilitation refers to the phenomenon whereby individuals tend to perform better at tasks when they are surrounded by other people.

Since Ralph is a newbie, his performance is more likely to decrease as he has not mastered playing in front of an audience. A veteran like Jimmie will have no problem playing in front of an audience as he is already used to playing in front of an audience.
